I have horses in real life. And I like to play this game because I can actually get somewhere in it. My real life horses just cause me stress and debt 😂
Rat, thats a very good way to put it, because I know of a few people who don't get the opportunity and this is one of the closest ways to get to horse owning.
Nothing wrong with playing your own way. I've had horses over a year IRL I'm very attached to and sad to see go. It's my first time building a. Memorial garden. And I'm not ashamed of it. I have a pasture for horses (mostly breeders) who aged over 18 and I give them a blanket and such and let them graze for as long as they kive
its especially common for people who are attached to their HEE ponies, are the same players who probably arent privileged enough to have a real horse, too (dont take this as passive aggression please)
